CHICAGO, IL – The governor of Illinois says President Trump is planning to send National Guard troops to Chicago.
“We have reason to believe that Trump administration is already staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois,” said Governor J.B. Pritzker.
Governor Pritzker told reporters he also believes other federal officers from various agencies will also soon enter the city. He made his comments just moments after President Trump said he plans to deploy the Guard to the Windy City to help fight crime.
Pritzker once again said he does not want troops on the streets of Chicago, and takes offense when Trump calls the city a “hell-hole.” He vows to fight troop deployments in court.
